The early 20th century queer mystic and artist Hilma af Klint channeled hundreds of paintings through messages from otherworldly forces, hoping to communicate the mysteries of the universe. Only recently rediscovered and hailed as one of the first-ever abstract artists, she worked in obscurity during a time that was not yet ready to receive her message. This contemporary opera – with a score that mixes genres from opera, rock, pop, and musical theater – wrestles with the hubris and humility that fueled one woman’s spiritual quest.
Watch the first episode of our docuseries on the making of HILMA, a contemporary opera exploring the life and art of Hilma af Klint, a queer abstract artist whose paintings were inspired by mystic messages she channeled from a higher power.
